Lagoon Nebula, M8, in Sagittarius ❤
Taken by me (Michelle Park) using the Slooh Canary Two Telescope, taken in August 2018.
This is the Orion Nebula! ✨✨✨
There are around 700 newborn stars in this nebula and more are being born each year! This is without a doubt, the most photographed object in the night sky due to its bright and radiant colors. You might even be able to see it without a telescope (in good weather)! 😍😍😍

This is the Super Flower Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse! ✨✨✨
Although the Slooh telescopes were off at the time of the eclipse itself, Slooh did provide a great livestream on Youtube that you can watch if you missed the event. The name “super moon” comes from how the Moon is located closer in its elliptical orbit to Earth, the name “flower moon” comes from how the super moon takes place in May, and the name “blood moon” shows its red color due to the Earth blocking the Sun’s light on the moon! 💖💖💖

This is the Blue Moon! 🌝✨🌝✨🌝✨
A blue moon occurs when there are more than 1 full moon per month (it’s not actually blue 😭). We were lucky to have it on Halloween since this occurrence is pretty rare: the next time there will be a blue moon on Halloween is 19 years from now! 👻🎃🦇🍬🍭🍫
